When does the cockatoo molt?

Cockatoo is a beautiful parrot, also known as red chin parrot. It mainly lives in the forests of Australia, and the molting cycle is usually once a year.

The molting time of cockatoos is usually concentrated in spring and summer, because the weather is warmer and the food is abundant, which is beneficial to the growth and molting of cockatoos.

2. The reason why cockatoos change their hair.

The main reason why Taihō parrots change their feathers is to replace the aging feathers, so as to keep good wings and feather shapes. In addition, the molting period is also a period when the immunity of cockatoo decreases, so special attention should be paid to diet and health.

Taihō parrots' feathers can also reflect their emotional state. They are prone to depression and stress during molting, so we should reduce their stress and anxiety as much as possible.

3. Matters needing attention when molting big parrots

Taihō parrots need to pay special attention to their health during molting, because their immunity declines and they are prone to get sick. At the same time, it is necessary to increase nutrient intake to support healthy growth and molting.

During molting, we should pay special attention to diet and give foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as oats, milk and vegetables. At the same time, the supply of vitamin B and calcium should be appropriately increased to prevent malnutrition and depilation of feathers during molting.

4. The behavior that should be paid attention to during the molting of big parrots.

The behavior of crested parrots during molting also needs more attention, such as grooming and bathing. During molting, feathers often become dry, fragile and curly. Need regular grooming and care.

At the same time, cockatoos like to take a bath during molting, so they can be provided with a clean pool to help them clean their bodies and feathers and relieve fatigue and anxiety.
